Bottega Veneta Superlight Spring Bag


This is a total trend Bottega Veneta bag even though it has a classic shape and feel - it's rare that you get both! The super thin and thus "superlight" leather is folded randomly and then painted. When unfolded, Tomas Maier's genius is revealed in striking degrade patterns that are organic yet controlled. It goes from dark at the edges and evens out as it feathers out. His genius doesn't just end there, the structure of this Bottega Veneta handbag also has the folded motif, the sides are billowing with a deep fold along the gusset (you can stick you hands in there, it's like one giant pleat). There are of course signature Bottega details, like the braided handle (so comfy!) and the braid that goes down the center. Obviously, this is a bag you need to go in and see in person. Comes in this yolk (yellow is huge for Spring), as well as, Tobacco (featured in Bottega Veneta ad).
